Oracle Reports & XML Publisher

Hallo,
Will there be a Oracle Reports Server (native) Version for the Application Server 10.1.3 (and beyond) or will this Service be replaced by the XML Publisher?
Thx, Willi

BIP is a different tool that pretty much can do the same job. And (it appears to me) that BIP will eventually be replacing Reports. I am sure BIP will undergo a few more versions first...but Reports does not seem to be undergoing any new development (that I know of). This is just my two cents...
More to the point: You can also use Oracle reports or BIP or both to generate yoru reports and can even use Reports to generate the XML data (from the db of course) and then use this data file to feed into BIP and use BIP format templates to display the data and even have multiple BIP templates for a single data file.
In may respects BIP format templates are easier to work with (based upon MSWord) than the layout editor in Oracle Reports and this method allows you to keep the (sometimes very complex) sql in Oracle Reports intact, unchanged. However, the use of a MSWord plug in has limitations...
It is my opinion that currently BIP has many formatting limitations that are not present in Oracle Reports. To overcome these formatting limitations you pretty much need to learn XSL if you have complex reports. And it is not any easier than learning how to use XSL (if you are not a Java/DotNet type) than it is to learn the layout editor in Reports (IMHO) .
All of the above is my personal perspective based upon 10+ years on Oracle Reports and 14 months on BIP so take it with a grain of salt. I do not nor have I ever worked for Oracle.

Error in Concurrent Program Details Report - XML Publisher program

hi,
i m executing a Concurrent Program Details Report - XML Publisher program and i m getting following errors

Oracle's XML Publisher in JDeveloper and XSQL Servlet

A While ago, in this thread JDeveloper 10g, XSQL and FOP , was mentioned an ongoing effort for the "integration of Oracle's XML Publisher in JDeveloper and XSQL Servlet", Is this still happening ?, will this be something will be able to use without having to be an Oracle Apps shop? Any additional info would be appreciated.

Hi,
is there any progress about XML publisher integration with JDeveloper. I'm right now examining XML publisher but there is no explicit directions and explanations of using XML publisher with jdeveloper.
any news !?
best regards...

OPP(Output Post Processor) not processing the report (XML Publisher)

Hi,
I have defined a concurrent program (XML Publisher report) then ran but failed with the errors below. I am running the report in Oracle E-Business Suite 11.5.10.2, thru a concurrent manager other than Standard Manager. My guess is that OPP(Output Post Processor) is not processing the request outputs coming from a different manager/work shift since requests ran thru Standard Managers are all OK.
In the OAM(Oracle Applications Manager)-> OPP, there is only 1 process allocated for both Actual and Target. If we increase the number of processes, will it work?

Anybody who has experienced similar issue?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Just an additional tests info. We have 2 concurrent managers which I think is affecting the XML report output - Standard Manager(running 24 hours) and a Warehouse manager (9am-4:15pm).
When I run the report before or after the Warehouse manager workshift(9am-4:15pm), the output is fine - which means PDF is generated and Pasta printing is OK. However, when report is run between 9am-4:15pm, the report only shows XML output with an error in Pasta printing(above). I also found that re-opening the output(ran prior to Warehouse workshift) on the period between 9am-4:15pm would also result to just an XML output instead of the previous PDF.
Anybody who has experienced similar issue like this? Any idea? The report is not directly defined as "inclusion" in the Warehouse manager, only the program calling it. Any effect of multiple concurrent managers in the XML Publisher output?
Thanks in advance for your ideas..

Demo reports XML Publisher

Hi all,
I've installed the XML Publisher Enterprise (562) edition and an Oracle Express 10g database. I created an user and did run the tables_oracle.sql scripts.
Thought the reports would be available then, but no.. the reports wants to use different tables than the tables I created with the sql scripts (department_name and so on is needed for the reports)
What am I doing wrong?

Hello,
in my experience the reporting tool does make a difference, but it is not the most important point.
The questions to ask would be
Does the tool allow you to enter a query directly or does it generate a query from selected options?
What kind of output do you need, CSV - PDF - Excel...?
How can it handle huge data sets?
Do users need to define their own reports or to choose from predefined?
Wich skills are available at my company?
Lizence costs?
How does it fit into the existing architecture, does it introduce a new technology stack?
And what do you mean by "faster"? Quickly develop new reports?

Template is not attached to AP Check Printing report (XML Publisher)

Hi Guru,
I have implemented XML publisher version of AP check Print report and did all the setups. When we make the payment in payables it automatically submits check print report. The report is completed successfully, but no output.
When I check View details button noticed that template layout is not attached to the report.
Please do the needful.
Thank in Advance,
Venkat.

Hi,
The following are the Instance details
OS : OEL5
Database: 11g
EBS : 11.5.10.2
I have completed all the setups for the report and I am able to see the template attached to the request for other reports where we submit them in SRS window.
But "AP check Print report" submits automatically through the form while making the payment against supplier in AP.
Thanks in Advance,
Venkat.

Migrating Oracle Reports to Publisher in 11g

Greetings!
We are developing a project with the purpose of migrating some Oracle Reports files to Oracle BI Publisher 11g. We know that there is a tool called BIPBatchConversion available in Bi Publisher 10.1.3.4.1 but I couldn't find this utility in Bi Publisher 11g.
Should I use this utility from Bi Publisher 10.1.3.4.1 and then migrate to Bi Publisher 11g or there is other option available?
Thanks!
Ramiro Ortíz.

Hi Ramiro
You got it right
Oracle REports --> 10g BIP --> 11BP
There is a migration tool to take your 10g BIP reports to 11g BIP - I believe its covered in the user docs

XML Publisher Report Issues

Hi,
We have customized a report (XML Publisher) in which our template is in XSL format.When using this stylesheet (.XSL) to print out PO's, there are some problems with the page layout, more specifically regarding the page breaks:
1) Extra empty page is printed - can this be avoided?
2) If the entire line block does not fit on the page, the line should be completely shifted to the next page (called "widow and orfan control" in MS Word) ?
How to avoid these issues? Replies will be appreciated.
Thanks,

How to call the XML Publisher Report thro Standard PO Output for Comm.

Hi
We need to call our custom report(XML Publisher Report) from the standard PO Output for Communication Report.
There is a parameter(Purchase Order Layout) in PO Output for Communication in which we can see no. of standard reports. We want to add our custom report in that list so that when we will run this standard report by selecting our custom report for Purchase Order Layout parameter, we should get the output as per our Custom report.
Since PO Output for Communication is a Java Concurrent Program, we are not able to place our custom report in the list of Purchase Order layout Parameter.

Different Footer in XML Publisher reports

Hi Experts,
I am working in INVOICE REPORT (XML Publisher report).
RTF: 2 page rtf
page1:
INVOICE INFORMATION
page2:
Description of Invoice.
Output:
page1 - Invoice1
page2 - Description
page3 - Invoice2
page4 - Description
etc...
Till now it's working fine. Here it's printing DESCRIPTION after each invoice.
Requirement: No footer in the second page of rtf.
To achieve this, i put a section break in the first page, now footer in first page only.
But the problem is, it's not giving desired output.
Output:
page1 - Invoice1
page2 - Invoice2
page3 -Invoice3
l-
last page -Description.
It's not printing the DESCRIPTION after each invoice page, only in the end it's priting the Description.
Because of section break, it's behaving like this.
Could some body help me how to get the DESCRIPTION after inovice Without having FOOTER in the second page of rtf.
Thanks in adnvance.

Hi Experts,
Could somebody help me.
Awaiting your responses.
Thanks.

Publish Oracle Reports/Forms as Portlet

Hai,
Is it possible to publish Reports6i/Forms6i
as portlet?!.
with best regards,
Mathan

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by bill lankenau:
Yes
For Reports 6i integration with Oracle9iAs Portal see the Oracle9iAS Documentation Library under "Business Intelligence Services", "Oracle Reports Service", "Publishing Reports to the Web" Section 5.4 Integration with Oracle Portal. Another resource to check out is the Reports page on OTN at: http://technet.oracle.com/products/reports/ and the whitepaper "Security Tips in Oracle Reports Services Release 6i with Oracle Portal Release 3.0".
For Forms 6i, integration is accomplished at the URL level - simply create a portlet (HTML portlet, folder portlet, dynamic page portlet, etc.) that contains the Form's application URL. Users with a Java-enabled browser click on the link and the form is launched in a separate window. In theory you could copy the Forms applet tag within a dynamic page component, start it in place, and expose as a portlet, but will likely experience unacceptable page rendering performance waiting for the Forms applet to start.
If SSO is important, you can configure Forms as an external application with the Login Server using Forms dynamic start feature. Be aware that Forms is using the 'get' method not the 'post' method and that you will see the username/password in the URL (this will change in a future release).
The next generation of Forms, code named Cherokee, will provide highly interactive HTML forms directly within a portlet. Developers can use Cherokee much like they use Oracle9iAS Forms to declaratively build data entry forms that function like the Java or client/server-based forms of the past, but instead are rendered in pure HTML. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Hi,
In xml publisher for transfer date we have number of options like Delivery API for email, fax, printing, ftp, AS2, etc… but for all we have to learn java to implement this,Is there any other way to do this other then java .... Is it possible to integrate
with oracle application without using java in Delivery Manager.
In Xml Publisher Enterprises in admin. Tab section having email, fax, printing, ftp,WebDav but how to integrate with Oracle Applications to get output whatever
the report develop in xml publisher enterprises....Is there any Registration Required in oracle system administator responsibility to getting the date from xml publisher Enterprises to oracle application any responsibility like payable etc...
I came to Know about one more Product AVENTX of STR Software Tools which
Supports fax and email delivery of Oracle’s XML Publisher-generated reports.
so any one suggest it is better to go this product for delivery fax and email through
oracle connector...

I figured it out
in your select if you want to group your output by say Organization_id change your select in your burst file to the following
<xapi:request select="/PAYSLIP_REPORT/PAYSLIP/EMPLOYEE_DETAILS/ORGANIZATION_ID">
